Los Angeles -- Nintendo on Tuesday provided the first glimpses of its next-generation "Revolution" video game console, which will be much smaller than either the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, and also for the first time announced a new handheld console, the 4-inch by 2-inch Game Boy Micro. The Revolution, slated for release sometime in 2006, will sport an IBM processor and ATI graphics chip, built-in Wi-Fi, 512MB of flash memory and support for DVD playback. Initial titles for the console will include "Super Mario Strikers," "Mario Mix," "Mario Party 7," "Mario Baseball," "Smash Brothers" and "Dance Dance Revolution." Nintendo said the tiny Game Boy Micro, weighing just 2.8 ounces, will be able to play all games for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP on its 2-inch backlit screen. A removable face plate will let owners purchase customized versions in various colors and designs. "No matter how tight your jeans are, the Game Boy Micro will fit in them," said Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime. Nintendo will release the Game Boy Micro in the fall of 2005.
